Niché au pied du bâtiment historique de la maison RCA, le Gia: Vin & Grill vu de l'extérieur ressemble à ces cuves de béton ou fermente l'elixir d’une recette de qualité sans artifice et superflus ajoutés. Gia a été imaginé pour toutes les envies et fringales de la journée à vos soirées entre amis autour d’un dîners assis, ou si l’humeur se prête plus festive, s’accouder au comptoir de notre caviste sans réservation.
Gia Vin & Grill est décrit comme un endroit italien chaleureux et élégant, avec une ambiance conviviale et un service attentif qui améliore l'expérience. La nourriture est souvent saluée comme délicieuse et bien travaillée, avec des plats grillés, des arrosticini, de la focaccia, des pâtes et des desserts remarquables comme le tiramisu et la tarte au chocolat; la carte des vins est large et bien assortie. Bien que certaines portions d'entrée soient jugées petites et que quelques plats manquent parfois d'un peu de consistance, l'ensemble donne l'impression d'un lieu de grande valeur et d'un vrai bijou à Montréal pour occasions spéciales ou dîners décontractés, et beaucoup envisagent d'y revenir pour découvrir d'autres plats.
Expérience hors du commun. Musique pas trop forte; il était facile de se parler. Excellent choix de vins. Larry comprenait parfaitement nos goûts & choisissait les produits parfaits. Quand à la nourriture, tout était excellent. Mention spéciale aux crostinis avec tomates séchées, au foie de pintade & au boeuf. Merci!
We were a table of 4. The locale is pretty cool. A touch loud but tolerable. Drinks ? So we can't make a cosmo because we have no cranberry juice (yes I'm old school). Ok let's have an Aperol spritz, sadly it's a little flat but we move on. We order a whole bunch of different entrees. Polenta, green bean salad, fennel salad, crostini & the focaccia. Everything was delicious &'fresh'. Fresh is in parenthesis because the young lady who was waiting on us used that description for almost every dish she explained. Although the dishes are pretty self explanatory. Our finished drinks stayed on the table a little too long & she never came back to ask if we wanted anything else to drink. So we flag her & order wine. We get our mains but still no wine. She finally comes with glasses & the bottle. & then proceeds to disappear with the bottle. We ask another staff member where the wine is because our mains are getting cold .... She proceeds to return with an opened bottle of wine & no cork She was making sure it was good. Euh no you open the bottle in front of me ... when I ask she told me that this is how sommeliers do it not to disturb the guests at the table. She has worked in a Michelin star restaurant & that's how it's done. Well I didn't share with her because it's not necessary but amongst the four of us we are well traveled & have done a few restos here & abroad, starred & not & no. You open the bottle where the guest can see you. You don't want to trouble? you do it in retreat but not where I can't see you. Anyhoo. This post has gone on enough. All is all food was really really worth it. Service staff was very friendly & smiling but this one girl although very sweet lost a lot of points with saying fresh 12 too many times & hiding to open our wine. Would go back ☺️
Been here twice, & would give it 4 & 2 stars respectively, so we'll average it at 3. Most recently was the Gia X Four Horsemen collaboration. Snow crab was ok - not mind blowing, not terrible, just ok. With the Gnocco Frito with prosciutto, the strongest flavour was the oil - heavy, oily, & largely bland. The beans with parmigianno was the best dish of the night. Original & delicious. The spaghetti was ok - having a large unmelted mass of cheese in the middle of a pasta dish is not ideal, IMO. The contre-filet with chanterelles was well cooked, but not exactly a dish bursting with flavour or coming together. The meat itself was tougher than one would expect, to the point I questioned if it was contre-filet, & overall it just fell flat - at $110 for the dish, one would expect something tastier or at least more unique. Service was good, except for the fact that when serving the table behind me & to the left, where there was a larger gentleman seated, the server bumped into my back every single time they passed. Atmosphere was lively.
L'ambiance est tendance & invitante & le service fut impeccable sans être prétentieux. Chaque plat était délicieux tout en mettant de l'avant des ingrédients saisonniers. Nous avons particulièrement aimé la salade de radis. Belle sélections de vins nature & cocktails. À ne pas manquer!

Went there when it first opened & the food was delicious. Now the quality has gone down. Some dishes are good but others lack flavour. It feels like they toned down the flavours.
Désolée mais ... Expérience très décevant. Pour avoir beaucoup voyagé & mangé dans de très bon restaurant gastronomique en l'Italie, ce restaurant nous déçoit malheureusement. Les prix trop élevés pour ce que nous avons mangé. .Ce qui est moins cher c'est le pain & les patates. Mois de 20 $. Je préfère de loin le restaurant chez Helena pour une cuisine authentique & vraiment italienne.
Really love this place & would go back any time. Enjoyed their dishes a lot & good service. Diverse clientele as well which is nice to see. You will not regret going !

The focaccia is unlike any I've ever tried. For that alone I'd give four stars. The beef was unfortunately on the tougher side, & the salad felt experimental, though I'm willing to concede the other menu items or on a different night it may have been better. For us it was a bit confusing since the server came over & was borderline indignant that we didn't already know the menu, saying "didn't someone else already come over here?" Aside from that the atmosphere was refined, yet comfortable. I look forward to going back in the summer months.
Petit bijou dans St-Henri. Laissez-vous emporter par la vibe des lieux, le service attentionnés & la gastronomie recherchée. Tout était délicieux, des cocktails savoureux aux pâtes parfaitement exécutées.
I was surprised how professional & understanding the staff was when I called prior to my reservation to tell them about a food allergy. They were very reassuring & told me they would be able to accommodate me, which they did. Very professional service overall.
Very mediocre. Thought it was pretty odd that the restaurant didn't serve coke or Diet Coke (or any traditional soda that matter). Waitress came off as a little condescending when she told me to order an espresso martini which was "basically the same thing" as a vodka & coke. Also thought it was odd that she refused to bring a slice of lime or orange for my vodka & when we asked someone else they said no problem & brought it. Drinks took about 25 minutes - which I understand could take long but it's a pretty small place. Eggplant dish was good, but also had the fish & the special of the evening (similar to coquille st Jacques), both of which were mediocre. They forgot to bring our side salad & the waitress said it was because they were having "communication issues" with the kitchen (strange comment?). These were only the issues that happened with me but there were a few more with the rest of the party including receiving the wrong dishes & not having the wines that were on the menu & the waitress suggesting 3 others l, all of which were more expensive. Overall not impressed for over 150$ per person.
Gia's is not just a restaurant; it's an oasis of culinary delight. From the delectable food to the charming atmosphere & impeccable service, every aspect of the dining experience exceeded expectations. I highly recommend Gia's to anyone seeking a refreshing take on Italian cuisine coupled with exceptional hospitality.
